Our fantastic rivalry...



...could all be over by 3 pm today.
Football will have no meaning to me if that's the case.
An AFC Palace wouldn't be the same. I might look at the occassional England match, look at your results once in a blue moon but that's it.
Here's hoping we'll meet again.....don't know where, don't know when....

Get a grip.

We were quite prepared at one point to go down that route, and we wouldn't have lost one supporter.

A football club is essentially the supporters.

you can't just give up like that, AFC Brighton & Hove would be better than nothing, as would AFC Palarse surely?

Anyway, think of all those driveways that you can tarmac on a Saturday afternoon instead.

Rich greedy men playing their silly greedy games, let's hope someone isn't overplaying their hand
If the worst happens I fully expect that several AFC Crystal Palaces will try to appear, its just a matter of which one will emerge dominant
Solution to this problem always has resolved around the ownership of the ground, now is not the time to comment on how taxpayers are paying for a new west ham ground (olympic stadium) whilst the solution to CPFC's problem gets ignored (national sports centre at crystal palace )
Palace fans will keep the faith through adversity as Charlton & Brighton did before them

the club can easily be saved - the deal is already in place and only needs the consortium to put pen to paper.

Selhurst Park is NOT the football club.

I don't get it. Palace don't own Selhurst as it stands, and have operated reasonably successfully (albeit losing money, but few football clubs don't) for years since Ron Noades sold it.

So why is owning the ground suddenly such a deal breaker? Maybe a bit cynical here but it strikes me that all this posturing over deadlines is simply an empty threat made by CPFC2010 to pick up a ground they wouldn't otherwise have been able to afford on the cheap. Off what is effectively the taxpayer.

They could easily buy the club without Selhurst surely?

If I was a potential investor in a football club, I think I'd want some tangible assets.

Exactly how I see it. But they're threatening to pull out even if the administrator has to sell a few players too.

Seems to me like the Palace fans should be lobbying CPFC2010 and not the banks
